but before that you consider the fact that... you can lose your job.. and therefore that monthly pay check.. so make provision and have enough cash to see you over 6, 12,24 months... what every you are comfortable with..
Shev;961619 said:Anyway it is not about right or wrong. If you have a chance to take an MRT ride downtown on a weekday morning at 8am and try imagining you had 2 kids aged 1 and 2 with you. And then you imagine having to do this every day. This family hope for a car, would you classify as a need or a want?
Meritocracy and the aged old saying "reaping what you sow" is deeply entrenched into me since primary school with the Singapore education system. But we do not assume every is lucky like us and have many choices in life especially when it comes to "pay now or pay later".
That's all. Thank you.

If its an important issue must travel at 8am then book a cab.
If not urgent then travel at off peak hour?

Shev;961626 said:Once again you talk like everyone got a lot of money to start with and no need to take loan from bank even for housing....
It's good for you. Thanks.
Jason8822;961631 said:Maybe you have something against porky88 which i may not know.
But he did mention make provision and have enough cash to see the borrower over a comfortable period.
What he means is not to stretch for something which is beyond our means.
His post is in no way pointing to anyone dun need to take loan from bank for housing or whatever
porky88;961632 said:in sg context... car is 95%(+- a few %) want NOT need
the public transport system can get you from any point to any point within a decent time..
... just realised... i am starting to sound like the ruling party.... shit.....
Shev;961604 said:Just pardon me for asking... How much did you buy your 1st hdb and how much did you make when you sold it? How much did you pay for your condo?
Financial prudence is definitely very important and essential but I am quite sure you did not pay $400-500K for a hdb back then?
